Things I Should Really Own

As a girl of nineteen (I'm still not at the point where I want to call myself a woman), I think my life is seriously lacking. That is to say, here's a list of things I think I'm really supposed to own by now or come into possession of within the next five years:

a classy black dress (as opposed to my trashy black dress), because despite my love for color... I look good in black
sandals of some sort/warm weather shoes, although this would involve getting over my aversion to feet
a leather jacket, made from cows
pearls/gold/real jewelry, preferably involving sapphires
a neutral trench coat
boots that are not galoshes
a dress skirt (I realize this might make no sense to anyone but me. I mean "dress skirt" the way people say "dress pants." A skirt that is dressy, preferably hits at the knee, and looks expensive. And can be worn outside of holiday parties.)
a serious bag, not this canvas tote business I've gotten so used to
a vintage brooch (the bigger the better)
a black or gray zip-up hoodie, for schlepping

On the other hand, two items that somehow show up on every Wardrobe Basics list that will not make their way into my closet any time soon: pencil skirts and dress pants.

To start off, here are some sandals that don't make me cringe. For the record, I may have atrocious taste in sandals because I never actually wear them. Please forgive me.
